Hyde 8 Year Old Cask Strength Single Grain Irish Whiskey (700ml)

An eight year old single grain, matured in a Bourbon cask and bottled non chill filtered and at natural strength for extra punch.

Tasting note: [from a 20ml sample] Bright gold. Wow! A bouquet from out of the blue for a single grain. Semi-ripe honey-dew and pear tart, followed by applemint and grassy freshness. Packed with oily grains in the mouth – at the same time so controlled and beautifully focused; a long thread of vanilla and caramelised orchard fruits with a slow burn of tingling alcohol that evaporates over the tongue. Drying, lipsmacking and moreish through the final stages. Hard to believe it’s 59%. Serious grain that's dangerously drinkable. 59% Alc./Vol. 1000 bottles.
